E3 2013 set the stage for Alienware
10 Jun 2013
E3 2013 set the stage for Alienware to launch its new line up of powerful gaming laptops. The new designs mark a departure from the previous generation and take on a bold new form. All three of the laptops share similar design characteristics, such as an anodized aluminum shell and magnesium alloy body. This makes for one tough exterior. They also have smooth, angular lines that will catch all the attention in the room. They also feature a new lighting design that highlights the base of each laptop and streaks of color on the back panels as well. All of the lighting zones are adjustable, including the alien head, based on customer feedback. One unique addition is the touch pad that lights

Despite recent UK government efforts to increase the number of women in leadership positions, the pressing need to improve the number of women appointed to boardroom roles remains firmly under the spotlight. And even with the high volume of attention this issue is receiving, British businesses are still struggling to identify and address the factors preventing this from becoming a reality. Lord Davies has insisted that the UK is stepping up to his call for more women on UK boards, but progress...

Today I had the pleasure of moderating a panel at Gartner’s Security & Risk Summit in National Harbor, just outside of Washington, D.C. The topic was the risks inherent in an Identity & Access Management (IAM) project. Not the risks you’re trying to mitigate with the IAM results, but rather we focused on the risks in choosing to embark on an IAM project in the first place. That may sound like a strange thing for a company trying to sell solutions to bring up. However, we find...

However, embedded IT devices have started to look and function more and more like that of a standard PC. In this world, where...

However, making it work in a safe and secure manner is not as clear cut as it once was when a company owned all the devices and controlled the rules. With a vast array of devices and more security threats than ever before, how can your organization incorporate BYOD into the mix to appease a workforce that is starting to demand it?

The average worker is carrying less devices with them as they move around during the day (2.95 devices v’s 3.5 devices in 2012). Part of this trend is being driven by device consolidation with tablets at the forefront. A tablet pc now incorporates: camera; movies/dvd player; e-wallet; video recorder; e-book reader; notepad; e-newspaper; gaming device and many tablets have the option of using them as a phone as well.

Actually, I do live on Jupiter (Street) and I find myself relentlessly barraged with this overly-simplistic claim. I...

Michigan has become a right-to-work state . Wait, Michigan? The home of the sit down strike in the late 30s that led to the unionization of the auto business is now a right-to-work state? To me, growing up in a blue collar, heavily union suburb of Detroit, this is still big, shocking news. I attended last week’s Mackinac Policy Conference and came home a bit shell-shocked about changes occurring in the state.

Others point to massive confusion that the many vendors are generating by claiming, “we do Big Data” and “you...

In today’s virtualized application world where I/O access patterns are much more random, flash storage can deliver impressive performance due to the absence of rotational and seek latencies.
